Ah, sorry. I forgot part of the story :) No, after over a month of them saying "it'll take a week for it after I escalate" and then me calling a week later and starting the whole conversation over, one day it finally was unlo

I was already an existing TMobile customer. I bought myself and my wife an iPhone 11 in cash when the phones were brand new. Never had a contract. Already had an LTE plan, didn't change that plan at all. Just bought two new phones from

even worse when they don't properly enforce it and instead silently truncate it. There was a PayPal bug just a couple years ago where the reset-password page didn't enforce length like other pages did. So it allowed you to create

I used that until we moved to Teams for all video calls. And it doesn’t have that feature :( I’ve looked around for an app like this. But they’re all paid and the security prompts are a little scary.

I’ve wondered about this wrt public transportation. They keep raising prices, making it less affordable for people. Eventually basically no one is riding, so they … raise prices. It seems needlessly expensive to me to run empty busses. I’d

+1 here. I've been facilitating a video game maker club for kids aged 11-15. I have ~7 kids who come. Most kids are 11-13 but 2 are 15. Since they're all new to programming in general the club has mostly been me teaching them. The

It’s actually not _predicting_ what emoji you want. There’s aliases assigned to each emoji and you are presented with the options based on the last word you typed. You might know this already, but how Apple has coded it is it’ll replace the

I do the same on Safari on iPhone. Enable the accessibility setting and browsers can't lock your zoom anymore.

Yeah. I get that. And I’m sure there’s some SEO-style positive feedback you get for it. But also being able to pitch it to me in a simple way and then using Loom as an example I think would be more helpful. “Screen recording software that e

Some honest feedback: describe your product/tool without using a competitor’s name. I’m on mobile and the landing page only tells me “recording software” and “Loom” before it drops into Twitter like 3rd party comments. I honestly have

Slightly different angle: I’ve been digitizing my grandparents’ journals. Something I’ve appreciated is the mundane. “Had a headache. Went to bed early” seeing how often my grandpa was sick was very eye opening to me. “Got the X repaired&#x

I had a Samoyed when I was a child that knew Sunday. We had a specific routine for him while we went to church. He’d stay in the backyard in his large kennel while we were gone. After not too long we’d wake up Sunday morning and he’d go str

I bought an LG over a year ago and haven’t connected it to any network ever. Works pretty great. Hasn’t asked me once to connect. Haven’t seen a single ad.

I agree. Teams is an app of a constant stream of little frustrations to me. It’s led me to believe that no one who develop/designs uses this tool at all internally. Not just confusing UI, but buggy UI. It’s not abnormal for people on m

I hate the game and don’t like to negotiate either. Thanks for the advice. Similarly once I was given an offer I for a job I wasn’t looking for. It was a nice jump higher than what I was making. But I was happy with my current job. I polite

Next I’d like them to go after windshield chip repair shops and pharmacies that advertise “free*” services. Where free == paid by your insurance. Assuming your insurance will pay for all of it. Free doesn’t mean paid for someone you paid to

My point is: the wall blew out. That’s never happened before. We should not allow this to be okay because no one died this time. Overall statistics improving doesn’t mean you have permission to start throwing a random person off the plane e

I've heard a lot of people say this in these comment threads, and I think this glosses over the actual issue: safety is getting worse, not better or even staying the same. So it's MORE statistically significant than it was. The tr

I have a wide selection of computers in my home. 3DPrinters, CNC, Microcontrollers, rpis, desktops, laptops, tablets, phones, TVs, etc. The one computer that “just works” and stays out of the way the most? My wife’s embroidery machine. When

I turn off broadcasts so I don’t have to listen. And if I record them I fast forward them. I hate billboards. I feel like they’re too intrusive and wouldn’t mind seeing a ban. Especially the ones that are back lit. Can’t believe advertisers

That’s absolutely false. I can be disgusted at both. I can be more disgusted at how much more terrible Israel’s destruction is AND be disgusted that Hamas attacked in the first place. And still not be pro-either-side. The amount of death an

I hate it. The over reliance on “Canvas” Which on the surface seems like such of a convenience. But every time I watch my kid turn in his math homework by holding his 2-sided worksheet up to the webcam I just cringe. He’ll never get any rea

And when you finally have a along controls everything is overloaded. Dish forced a new remote on us last time a device broke and they replaced it. It has far fewer buttons. I’m sure it helps getting familiar with it on a super basic level.

I know it's still different than what you're looking for, so you probably already know this, but many projects like this have the Dockerfile on github which shows exactly how they set up the image. For example: https://

I still buy everything I like and want to ever watch again on physical media. I try to get the DVD/Blu-ray combos. I think it’s worth it even if it’s available on D+ or whatever other platform. And I can rip them and stream them myself

Thanks! That's very encouraging. I'm excited again. I do have some arcade buttons laying around, as well as an old LCD TV. I'll throw together a nice POC :)
